110 Years. 110 Stories. 110 Reasons to Raise Awareness for GBS and CIDP
This May, join us in recognizing a major milestone in our community, the 110th anniversary of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This will be celebrated during GBS|CIDP Awareness Month by listening to patient stories and sharing them to help raise much-needed awareness for GBS and CIDP.
GBS 110 Campaign
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was first identified and named in 1916 by French neurologists Georges Guillain, Jean Alexandre Barré, and André Strohl, who distinguished it as a unique condition. As of 2026, this landmark identification occurred 110 years ago, marking over a century of research into the disorder. Yet even today, with so many international GBS patient registries and research efforts, there are still thousands who face the devastating challenges of this condition every year.
110 years later, there is still no cure.
During GBS Awareness Month, we are kicking off the GBS 110 campaign, which will feature 110 stories presented as one-minute videos from all corners of the world. These inspirational stories, collected throughout 2026, will serve as a reminder that there is still much work to do and reasons to bring much-needed awareness to this condition.
Please join us in recognizing this milestone 110-year anniversary. Share your story to the GBS 110 website HERE to raise much-needed awareness for GBS.
